Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Mu Wanqing understood and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Zhang San Niang probably knew what to do, and said, "Little brother, you should sit up too. Wanqing can sit at the back."

Shang Xiufang nodded and said, "I think it's okay."

Then the two people sitting next to each other separated to make room for each other.

Lin Zhu thought for a moment, then sat down, and the Limitless True Essence within his body transformed into Heavenly Frost Qi.

The big dumpling let out a satisfied cry, then sped up and headed west.

Seeing Zhang San Niang and Shang Xiu Fang standing close to Lin Zhu, Mu Wanqing felt a pang of bitterness and pouted.

Liu Ruoxin wasn't much better off. As for Zhang Sanniang, forget about her. Compared to Shang Xiufang, she was the one who arrived first.

Once you leave Yumen Pass, all you see is a desolate desert with sandstorms raging everywhere.

The five of them avoided speaking if they could.

The little glutinous rice ball was left in the ancient tomb and did not come with us.

This stretch of road is not suitable for it.

Along the way, whenever they reached an oasis, regardless of its size, they would stop to rest until the next morning.

Don't worry about food either, there's teleportation!

Beyond the Jade Gate Pass, further north lies the Tianshan Mountains.

However, Lin Zhu still planned to send Liu Ruoxin and Mu Wanqing to rejoin their main group.

Although it wasn't exactly on the way, it wouldn't take too long, and there was plenty of time left before the month Wu Xingyun had given them.

The location is near the Kunlun Mountains, in a desert city called Kai.

Lin Zhu and the others didn't go in. After watching Liu Ruoxin and Mu Wanqing leave, they turned around and left.

Three days after separating from Liu Ruoxin and the others, the three of them and the bear arrived at a large city and wrote a letter to Sifang City.

We've arrived at Sifang City, and we're not far from Tianshan Mountain.

Since it was evening, they decided to stay there for the night.

Yuelai Inn doesn't have any branches here, so Lin Zhu, Zhang San Niang, and Shang Xiufang just randomly found a decent inn.

"Shopkeeper, I need lodging."

Although Sifang City is located in the Western Regions, its architectural style is no different from that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is mainly because the city lord, Ouyang Feiying, and his three partners who started the business together were all from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The old innkeeper was very happy to have guests staying overnight.

But upon seeing the large dumpling, his expression changed slightly. "Sir, our small place can't accommodate your strange beast. Would you like to go somewhere else?"

Without saying a word, Lin Zhu took out a ten-tael gold ingot and asked, "Will I be able to stay here this time?"

The innkeeper reached out and took it without saying a word, "Three guests, and this Mr. Xiong, please come in!"

Money is useful no matter where you are.

The three people and one bear successfully checked into the Youjian Inn.

Moved by Lin Zhu's offer of another ten-tael gold ingot, the shopkeeper began scavenging for ingredients in Sifang City and delivering them to Da Tuanzi.

The big dumpling was happy to have food without having to hunt for itself.

As the sun gradually set in the west, Lin Zhu, Shang Xiufang, and Zhang Sanniang were resting.

Then someone shouted, "Innkeeper, what's going on with this inn? There's no stable, so where's our carriage?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but our stables have been booked by another guest. You saw that giant bear, didn't you? Perhaps you could find lodging elsewhere?"

The innkeeper kindly offered advice: Lin Zhu's two ingots of gold were enough to book the entire inn for three days, but he said he would only stay for one night.

The shopkeeper was afraid that Lin Zhu would run away with such a cheap deal, so he asked him to refund the money.

As for other guests, they can stay if they can, and if not, they can go elsewhere.

Chapter 248 Confronting Ouyang Feiying

"I'd like to see who's so domineering."

"Yi Shan, let's forget it and find somewhere else to stay." A gentle voice prevented an impending conflict.

Lin Zhu had already heard the commotion. When he came to the window, he saw a short, stocky man pushing a young man in a wheelchair dressed in gold, slowly walking away.

'Ouyang Mingri?' He recognized the two of them.

Ouyang Mingri felt something and turned around to see Lin Zhu, and was amazed by her beauty.

However, he already had someone in his heart, and simply nodded to Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu nodded in response and watched the two leave.

He couldn't possibly move the big dumpling somewhere else.

Not long after Ouyang Mingri left, a figure appeared at the entrance of the inn.

"Shopkeeper, I need lodging."

His voice was cold, and his expression was even colder.

But the shopkeeper was very welcoming, saying, "This way, please, lady!"

The female warrior was placed directly opposite Lin Zhu's room.

Zhang San Niang and Shang Xiu Fang lived on either side of Lin Zhu.

Having traveled a long and dusty journey, Shang Xiufang had just finished bathing and was asking the waiter to carry the bath tub downstairs when she happened to run into this man.

Wearing a gray outer robe, with long hair cascading down his shoulders and a black ring on his forehead, he exuded a heroic air.

Holding a sword, even before it was drawn, Shang Xiufang could already sense its extraordinary nature.

The female knight was also amazed when she saw Shang Xiufang. She nodded to her and, led by the innkeeper, went into the room and checked in.

Shang Xiufang came to Lin Zhu's room and whispered, "Little brother, I met someone earlier who seems to be from our group. Do you want to go meet her?"

"Ha!" Lin Zhu thought it couldn't be such a coincidence. They had just met Ouyang Mingri and the Goddess Dragon had already arrived?

A thought struck him, and he decided to show off in front of Shang Xiufang, so he asked, "Is she holding a sword and looking very cold?"

Shang Xiufang was stunned for a moment, "How did you know? Did you see it?"

"No, just a guess," Lin Zhu said with a smile, then pulled Shang Xiufang into his arms. "No need to make a point of seeing her; if we're meant to, we'll meet naturally."

Shang Xiufang had just finished showering; she smelled wonderful.

Shang Xiufang tilted her head back, her heart beating a little faster. "Little brother, I just finished taking a shower, can you please not move?"

Lin Zhu hummed in agreement, her voice somewhat muffled, "I'll help you clear your meridians."

Shang Xiufang felt a tremor in her heart, and then felt a surge of true energy starting from the Tanzhong acupoint, opening up her meridians and flowing down to the Qihai acupoint.

After going down from Qihai, it circled around and arrived at Changqiang.

During this period, her meridians have expanded considerably; otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to accommodate so much.

Lin Zhu's Limitless True Essence circulated through his body for three major cycles, which took only a quarter of an hour.

Afterwards, Shang Xiufang glared at him reproachfully and went back to change her clothes.

Next up was Zhang San Niang, who had also taken a bath. Lin Zhu naturally couldn't show favoritism to her.

In the opposite room, Shangguan Yan heard heavy breathing. Recalling Shang Xiufang's face, she sighed inwardly. She never expected that such a stunningly beautiful woman would be so dissolute.

Lin Zhu woke up and prepared to take Zhang San Niang and Shang Xiu Fang to Tianshan.

Quite by chance, when he opened his door, the door to the room opposite also opened.

He bumped right into Shangguan Yan.

Shangguan Yan was stunned, a jolt of electricity running through her mind, "Lin Zhu!"

Besides him, Shangguan Yan couldn't think of anyone else with such an appearance. She was also a member of the group, whose name was Phoenix Blood Dragon.

Lin Zhu recognized her as well and said, "I can roughly guess who you are."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doors on both sides opened.

Shangguan Yan then realized that she must have misunderstood last night. The group chat was so strict that it was unlikely that these three people would do anything out of line.

"You were right after all." Shang Xiufang looked at Shangguan Yan, her expression excited as if she had guessed correctly.

Zhang San Niang looked at Shangguan Yan, realized what was happening, and nodded to her.

"My name is Shangguan Yan, and my online name is Phoenix Blood Divine Dragon."

[Ding! Detected that Shangguan Yan has revealed her identity, gaining half a year's worth of cultivation.]

Shangguan Yan clasped her hands in a fist salute to the three of them.

Zhang San Niang said, "This name is a bit domineering!"

Shangguan Yan twitched the corners of her mouth. She knew why the group had given her this name: wielding the Phoenix Blood Sword and nicknamed Goddess Dragon.

"Are you going to Lingjiu Palace?"

“Yes, we’re just about to set off. Would you like to come along?” Zhang San Niang extended an invitation.

Shangguan Yan twitched the corners of her mouth again, sensing that Zhang San Niang was rather overly familiar.

She shook her head and said, "No, I have other things to do."

Lin Zhu asked, "Are you looking for your mother, Ding Xuelian?" He could tell that Shangguan Yan was new to the martial arts world; otherwise, Huangfu Renhe should have been with her.

Shangguan Yan was startled, then thought of Lin Zhu's abilities in the group, and then she was overjoyed, asking, "Do you know where my mother is?"

“Windless Valley,” Lin Zhu said with a smile, “but you’ll have to find out exactly where Windless Valley is.”

Shangguan Yan smiled genuinely this time, "Knowing this name is enough, thank you!"

She looks very heroic when she's not smiling, but she's very beautiful when she smiles.

Lin Zhu laughed and said, "I only used my words, there's no need for thanks."

The four of them left the inn together, and Da Tuanzi also came out, which shocked passersby, who then all made way for them.
